In a written ruling Tuesday, Mehta said he was dismissing the #OathKeepers’ charges reluctantly at the request of the #DOJ. He criticized prosecutors for claiming in a court filing that wiping out the most serious convictions from the #Jan6 riot was in the public interest.

“The government does not say that the charges were legally deficient or that the evidence presented is insufficient to sustain Defendants’ convictions. It confesses to no prosecutorial misconduct, nor does it assert any denial or compromise of a defendant’s rights,” Mehta wrote. #DOJ, Mehta said, was simply bestowing the ringleaders behind the #insurrection “unearned grace by wiping their records clean” after juries found them #guilty of committing “crimes against the United States itself.” #law
